ABOUT NARMADA RIVER
• Narmada River is the fifth longest river in
India.
• It begins its 1312 km (813 mile) flow to the
sea from Amarkantak village in Madhya
Pradesh, continuing its flow towards
Maharashtra, then Gujarat and eventually to
the Arabian sea.
• Along the way the Narmada is augmented by
waters from 41 tributaries - 22 on its
southern side and 19 on its northern side.
• Together the Narmada and its tributaries
drain 98,796 sq km (37, 542 sq miles) of land.
ABOUT THE
PROJECT
In 1946, India's Central Waterways, Irrigation,
and Navigation Commission constituted a
committee to study the feasibility of such a
project.
In 1978, the Indian government sought the
World Bank's assistance to construct a series of
dams over the river as part of the Narmada
Valley Development Project.
It included the creation of 30 large dams, 135
medium dams, and 3,000 small dams.
• Displacement of 2,50,000 people from their land in
three states
• Rehabilitation and resettlement of people
• Loss of agricultural land and forest(approx. 37,000
hectares)
• Destruction of flora and fauna
The Indian government promised that the dams
would help provide potable water for almost forty
million people, irrigation for over six million
hectares of land, hydroelectric power for the
entire region and claimed that it was essential for
India's economic development.

movement, started in 1985, against
the construction of huge dam on the
Narmada river.

trees and the fauna, rehabilitation of
the poor people living around the

• The groups from Madhya Pradesh
and Maharashtra merged to form
the Narmada Bachao Andolan in
1989 under the leadership of Medha
Patkar. Later Baba Amte joined the
group.
• In May 1990, a massive NBA five-day dharna (sit-in) at then-Prime
Minister V. P. Singh’s residence in New Delhi forced the Prime
Minister to agree to "reconsider" the project.

Narmada Jan Vikas Sangharsh Yatra marching over a hundred
kilometers.
• The leading activists of the movement - Medha Patkar and Baba
Amte, together received the Right to Livelihood Award in 1991 for
their contribution to the Narmada Bachao Andolan.

In 1995 they suspended work on the dam but in 1999 they ordered

80m despite global protests.
• Later in 2006 Aamir Khan participated in hunger strike since
